Mr. Tony Lloyd: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assessment he has made of the present
humanitarian situation in Kenya; and if he will make a statement. [20971]
Dr. Liam Fox: Much of Kenya is currently experiencing drought conditions, the worst affected areas being in eastern and
north-eastern provinces. The British Government have provided emergency assistance totalling £3.9 million through Oxfam and the
World Food Programme, mainly for the provision and distribution of food for pastoralist communities. The long rains, expected at
this time, are now beginning to fall in some parts of the country. We are continuing to monitor the situation carefully.

Mr. Dalyell: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on current levels of groundwater in the
United Kingdom; and what assessment he has made of the possibility of water shortages in summer 1997. [17273]
Mr. Clappison: [holding answer 24 February 1997]:
The main aquifers are in England and north Wales, January 1997 levels in the sandstone were commonly the lowest on record. Levels in
the chalk were also very depressed. Levels in the small aquifers of Scotland and Northern Ireland are within normal variation.
My Department receives weekly reports from the Environmental Agency on the water resources position in England and Wales. In view of
the predominantly dry weather during much of the winter, we have commissioned from the Environment Agency a report on the prospects
for public water supplies this year, to be based on the water resources position at 28 February. We expect to receive this in
mid-March.
